Before I respond to your inquiry, I must state that we have not spoken, I have not reviewed the relevant documents and facts, and I do not represent you. Therefore, my discussion below is not a legal opinion, but is informational only. Finally, my discussion applies only to issues to which Pennsylvania, Delaware, New Jersey or Federal law applies, unless otherwise specified.
That being said, there is a big difference between unfair and illegal. It is unfair, but would only be illegal if you were being treated differently due to your race, age, gender, disability, etc., than similarly situated employees - which means employees being laid off from the recall and not the initial layoff.
